U.S. experienced 156 armed incidents so far this year The US National Gun Crime Statistics Agency informed Reuters that there have been 156 recorded gun incidents in the United States this year. Reuters reported this information on Monday, attributing it to the agency, but did not specify the exact extent of the damage resulting from these incidents. This data on gun incidents in the US was shared by the agency at a moment when a clash between two groups at an annual festival in Utah on Sunday evening resulted in five individuals being shot, with three fatalities and two others injured. Utah law enforcement disclosed that one of the deceased was an eight-month-old infant. It is notable that gun-related incidents have been on the rise in various US states recently, prompting criticism from Americans directed at authorities for the surge in gun violence and incidents.
